Samidi: Hi, Jan! Where are you going? You look so in rush or something.
Samijan: Hi! I am going to MLM Maju Mundur Grand Seminar in that red painted building.
Samidi: Err.. So, you are a member of MLM?
Samijan: Yup.
Samidi: Why are you joining this kind of company?
Samijan: Wait a second, what do you mean by ‘this kind of company’?
Samidi: You know, the kind of company that does not give you fixed profit and advantage..
Samijan: Whoa, whoa, dude. You don’t know what the truly MLM is, don’t you?
Samidi: Hmm, not really.
Samijan: Don’t you know that we can gain better earnings than average workers do? As the
example, I can get Rp200.000 per day simply by adjoin downliners? Imagine that I keep doing
that in a month.. How much my income is will be!
Samidi: Exactly, this kind of company can never make sense to me. Let me ask you, what are
you literally working every day in your MLM company?
Samijan: Uh.. Find more downliners and attend a seminar. It is needed to enlarge my reputation
in company.
Samidi: Do you realize that you are literally working on nothing, and only create a ‘circle of
Satan’?
Samiji: Whoa, do you mean my MLM company is bad? You don’t know that by adding a
downliners can raise my income into more than 50% which is good to my livelihood. I can also
receive bonus. Maybe next week I will buy the new iPhone 5S. Can you do that?
Samidi: Oh yeah? By fooling people? Maybe I can not do that, but with working hard in SINCERE
way I can achieve a good living sometime. Your MLM company perhaps can promise you a fine
salary, new car, new cell phone, and better living. But, what’s all that means if it is ONLY A
PROMISE?
Samijan: (Halt for a moment) At least I can get motivated by the motivation seminar from some
of the thriving ‘leaders’ from my company. They constantly lure us to achieve it all which can
motivating me to working harder by…

2. Samidi: By getting more downliners?
Samijan: Err.. No. By being seen in first-class appearance, wearing a suit is one of its
applications. It can gives me more confident to show up like that in public.
Samidi: But still, you just keep fooling people around you. Let me ask you again, how much is
your earning now?
Samijan: Good enough to keep me eat three times a day and fend my family.
Samidi: Is it enough to buy you a new cell phone or car?
Samijan: Not now, but probably next month.
Samidi: How long have you been worked for that company?
Samijan: Three years.
Samidi: Where is your car and your sophisticated cell phone? I can’t see them. You said you
earned more income than average workers did, right?
Samijan: Okay, that’s enough. Do you having fun by mocking my job and my eagerness in this
MLM company?
Samidi: I am not mocking you. I was just enlighten you to the reality that you living today. You
have too realize the fact sooner. I don’t want you trapped in a long dream that won’t gives you
merit.
Samijan: I am not a dreamer. Maybe I picture myself too much, but it can give me
encouragement to my career, you know.
Samidi: Okay, I don’t want to arguing with you anymore.
Samijan: But, we just did it. And it persist in a long time.
Samidi: Oh, yeah? Hahaha. Well, it happened. So you are still going to the seminar, aren’t you?
Samijan: Yup. Do you want to join me?
Samidi: As a downliner? Of course not, dude. Oh, I forgot that I don’t want to arguing you. Well,
I think I am going back home. Good luck to you, Samijan.
Samijan: Hahaha, fine. Take care.
